Various processes in which BicD is involved during Drosophilian development (review)

findings show BICD1 localized to Chlamydia trachomatis inclusions in a biovar-specific manner and that EGFP-BICD1 is recruited to the inclusion in a microtubule- and Golgi apparatus-independent but chlamydial gene expression-dependent mechanism

These results imply that GSK-3beta may function in transporting centrosomal proteins to the centrosome by stabilizing the BICD1 and dynein complex, resulting in the regulation of a focused microtubule organization.

Bicaudal D Homolog 1 (Drosophila) (BICD1) Antigen-Profil

Beschreibung des Gens

This gene is one of two human homologs of Drosophila bicaudal-D. It has been implicated in COPI-independent membrane transport from the Golgi apparatus to the endoplasmic reticulum. Two alternative splice variants have been described. Other alternative splice variants that encode different protein isoforms have been described but their full-length nature has not been determined.
